Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had just relaxed, but there were differences again on the handling of Wuhuan.
The pacification of Zhang Ju's rebels promoted the struggle for the crown prince's position in the court. The Han emperor showed rare generosity and rewarded all the soldiers who had meritorious service in battle.
The news that Jia Rong fought with Xianbei in Youbeiping and killed two thousand enemies finally reached the court, and the author was Liu Yu. The next day, the Han Emperor praised Jia Rong in the court for his bravery in fighting Xianbei, and he did not hesitate to praise him in his words.
He sent angels to Youzhou to express condolences.
All the officials were silent. Emperor Han had only a few days left. He wanted to appease the civil servants and generals in his last days. Whether it was the prince debate or the prince association, he was too young. After he ascended the throne, he still faced the generals assisting the government.
, that is, the dictatorship of foreign relatives.
The Han Emperor, who had experienced the dictatorship and power manipulation of his relatives and eunuchs since childhood, knew very well the feeling of powerlessness that comes when power is not in your hands and can be manipulated by others.
Huangfu Song who was in Chang'an was also recalled by the Han Emperor, and the Northern Army, known as the strongest army of the Han Dynasty, was once again stationed in Luoyang City.
Once the Han Emperor expressed his intention to make Liu Xie the crown prince, but the officials headed by the general were always opposed.
The battle for the crown prince became the most heated topic in the court.
The court was as lively as the Jincheng. The news of Jia Rong's imminent return spread throughout the streets and alleys. Many people excitedly told the people around them about Jia Rong's events.
On that day, the total number of people and officials who came out of the city to greet them reached 50,000. Now, the population of the county alone has exceeded 70,000. It has become a big county. There are 70,000 people in the county and 50,000 people have left the city.
The greeting caused a rare scene of empty alleys in Jincheng.
Ten thousand people were stationed in Jincheng, and the flags of various generals were fluttering in the wind, as if they were also welcoming Jia Rong's return.
While the people were waiting eagerly, Jia Rong slowly appeared with a caravan of several thousand people. Many merchants only took passing buses and did not reach Jincheng at all.
A year later, Jia Rong's prestige in Jincheng has still not been replaced, and many newly moved people just came to watch out of curiosity.
More than 50,000 people gathered outside the county city, but it was surprisingly quiet. They quietly watched the team in the distance slowly approach Jincheng.
Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and other unfamiliar generals beside Jia Rong were shocked at the situation in front of them. More than 50,000 people gathered outside the city. It was so spectacular. They had never heard of any official who would be welcomed by the people like this when he returned. To Jia Rong,
His eyes became a little eager.
"General!" Nearly ten thousand soldiers all knelt on the ground in the direction of Jia Rong.
Compared with tens of thousands of people coming out of the city to greet him, this scene is more eye-catching. All the soldiers looked at Jia Rong with burning eyes. This honor belongs entirely to one person, that is - Jia Rong.
The people followed the soldiers and spontaneously knelt down to greet Jia Rong, and the scene was spectacular.
The word "general" contained too many things, and the eyes of countless hard-blooded men turned red.
Jia Rong hurriedly dismounted, walked to the front of the team, helped Zhang Li up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zirong!"
Zhang Li stood up and looked at Jia Rong with reddish eyes, his body trembling slightly.
"Wenhe, thank you for your hard work!" Jia Rong said as he helped Jia Xu up.
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "It's a blessing to serve my lord." However, the trembling in his tone betrayed his true thoughts.
"Brother Wenhou, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Wenhou was the leader of the Qiang people in the Xiliang army, so Jia Rong naturally had to take into account the feelings of the Qiang soldiers.
All the important people in Jincheng had red eyes when they saw Jia Rong return. Before Jia Rong left, he had been the backbone of Jincheng and the anchor of the army. No one felt anything. When Jia Rong left, civil servants and military generals
There is a feeling of difficulty.
In the army, no one can replace Jia Rong's position. The Paper Factory and the world-famous Xianlian Pavilion were all built by Jia Rong. The Qiang people also relied on Jia Rong for their surrender. In Jincheng, he is a legend.
.
The news that Jia Rong returned to Jincheng spread quickly. The merchants in Jincheng had a large flow of business, and there were countless merchants traveling from north to south. Relatively speaking, the news circulated faster.
After returning to Jincheng, news about the battle between Liu Yu and Zhang Ju continued to spread through Jincheng's intelligence network. Today's Xianlian Pavilion is already a behemoth. After Jia Rong returned, he opened large or small offices in the border counties of Bingzhou.
shops to collect news about border customs.
Liu Yu went to Wuhuan alone and persuaded Qiu Liju. Jia Rong admired him greatly. Nowadays, there are only a handful of big men who can have such courage. However, Jia Rong did not like Liu Yu's way of doing things. His gentle way of treating foreigners was a bit too much.
Already.
The defeat of Zhang Ju and others was completely unexpected by Jia Rong. Any army that relies on plundering the people to survive after raising an army cannot last long. The army comes from the people. When the army chooses to plunder the people, the morale of the army has almost collapsed. Zhang
Looting people to replenish food and grass is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
Thinking back to the time when Zhang Jiao led hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans to raise troops and conquered prefectures and counties along the way, with the power to sweep the Han Dynasty, why they were defeated so quickly has a lot to do with what they did after the Yellow Turbans uprising.
Although getting along with Liu Yu was not pleasant, Jia Rong still ordered Xianlian Pavilion from Youzhou to report the good news.
The scale of Jincheng has expanded, and some problems have also been exposed. At first, Jincheng was barren, and the people had insufficient food and clothing. Most of the officials came from poor families. They were well aware of the suffering of the people and worked conscientiously. Now Jincheng has become rich, and some officials have also learned
To accept bribes, there are so many businessmen coming and going in Jincheng every day. In order to curry favor with officials, businessmen try their best to bribe and seek the protection of officials.
Some officials who came from ordinary people were also knocked down by money, leaving only the common people as food and fish.
When he first heard Jia Xu say this, Jia Rong didn't take it seriously. Who doesn't have something wrong with him? He can't be too strict with his subordinates.
When Jia Xu sent the list of bribes accepted and the amount of corruption to Jia Rong, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Nearly a hundred officials, big and small, involved in accepting bribes and corruption, wrote several pages densely, detailing when they
The amount of money collected and the amount of corruption were listed in detail. One official actually received millions of dollars in bribes from businessmen.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jia Rong immediately dispatched troops to various counties and ordered the county magistrates to discuss matters in Jincheng.
The most important ones are some officials in the county. The situation in other counties is still very good. Everyone's political achievements are impressive under the leadership of Zhang Li and Zhang Zhao.
Dealing with such a difficult matter just after returning to Jincheng was definitely suppressed by Jia Xu on purpose. After all, Jia Xu did not have a deep foundation in Jincheng and was promoted by Jia Rong, even though his personal ability was very strong.
In the past few days, Jia Rong has been thinking about how to deal with these officials rather than food. Bribery and corruption accounted for 50% of the officials in Jincheng. This is only what Jia Xu can find out. If he is angry,
If all of them are dismissed, Jincheng will be in a state of collapse for a long time.
There are still three updates, please support me. After working for a day, I often code until midnight to complete the update!
